Hi
Upgraded a day or two ago, and tried to convert a .tib file (WIn XP Pro 32) but there is no longer any options other than
Source "Powered off" dropdown options:
VMware Infrastructure virtual machine
VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine
Hyper-V server
The .tib file is fine; Acronis gives it a clean bill of health.
System: Win7 Pro 64 SP1 fully up-to-date; Intel i7 3770k @ 3,.5GHz; 16GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 MHz; 2x Samsung EVO 512 GB; 1x WD 1TB Caviar Black;
Gigabyte Windforce HD7950 3GB graphics, Radeon software 16.12.2.
I had no problems at all with the previous installation (quite old, dated from ~2014). Has the ability to convert .tib files been removed from the stanadlaone free converter?
TIA
Terence
vCenter Converter 6.0 is the last release that support Acronis images, see: https://www.vmware.com/support/converter/doc/conv_sa_60_rel_notes.html#interop
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.0 is the last release of the product to support third-party backup images and virtual machines as sources for conversion. This capability will be discontinued in the next release. If you use this capability, you should start planning your transition.

Thank you, Richardson
I hadn't seen that (VMware.com is something of a maze).
I still have a copy of my original installation - VMware-converter-en-5.5.3-2183569.exe - so I'll revert to that.
Odd - many SME/SB & corporate customers use Acronis, so VMware may be cutting its own throat to some extent.
Cheers
